Sector Erase (SE)
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction sets to 1 (FFh) all bits
inside the chosen sector. Before it can be accepted, a Write
Enable (WREN) instruction must previously have been ex-
ecuted. After the Write Enable (WREN) instruction has been
decoded, the device sets the Write Enable Latch (WEL).
The Sector Erase (SE) instruction is entered by driving Chip
Select (

progress, the Status Register may be read to check the value
of the Write In Progress (WIP) bit. The Write In Progress
(WIP) bit is 1 during the self-timed Sector Erase cycle, and is
0 when it is completed. At some unspecified time before the
cycle is completed, the Write Enable Latch (WEL) bit is reset.
A Sector Erase (SE) instruction applied to a page which is
protected by the Block Protect (TB, BP2, BP1, BP0) bits (see
table 1, table 2 and table 3) is not executed.
